Sea Horse/ softey tank

[nichols]

A work in progress. Going to be a soft coral/ sea horse tank. Set it up Fri.

I think I'll replace the 150 MH with t-5's.
Going to add some long leaf type of Macro. Every thing in this tank is from my system, except the new sand bed. Getting 4 Erectus next Fri.
I'll post some pictures when their settled in.

Yes the tanks a 34 gal Solana. Little over kill, but the price was right.

Thanks everyone.
My wife is into this tank. Makes it easier on me. We're pretty happy with it over all.
I put in about a 2" sand bed. Might try one of the sea grasses. The rocks came out of one of my fuges along with a few cups of sand, 20 gals of tank water and 10 gals of new salt water.

Put a 5 gal ATO on it and transferred a small CUC from the basement today.

Looking good !
I hope to tie in a seahorse tank into my system soon!

It is going to look sweet with the sea grasses/ long leaf macro's...... Some of the best looking horse tanks have that natural look.

I am def going to keeping up with your updates.

Picked up the ponies today.
Want to thank Michele (Kiah) for her advice on setting this tank up, seahorse care and supplying healthy tank raised horses for a very fare price.
They were eating frozen mysis 3 hours after introduction.

This is Charlie. He's the only one I was a little worried about. He was just hanging at the bottom against a rock a rock for a couple hours. Dinner time he was eating like a pig and hanging in Macro with the other three.

 

[nichols]

All four horses pretty much setled in.

This is going to be a cool tank. Picked up a small toadstool leather from Michele for the tank and I going to move a few of the soft corals from my system over.
I'll post more pic's as this tank moves along.
